This was the problem. I turned off RIP, waited for the routes to expire and
be replaced by their OSPF equivilant (a Cisco is converting them), and it let
me save the config. I still need to get more memory, tho... is parity really
required?

I have 3 netblock assigned to me. I've added them all to the 0.0.0.0 area.
Is this what I want to do, if I'm only using one area?

It's a static IP. Dialup network assignments also appear this way, as do the
routes that the Cisco converts from RIP. Pool assignments do not have /E2
listed. Everything works fine, I'm just wondering what it means.

Also, any idea why Ascend dynamic bandwidth allocation doesn't work on the
Livingston? I'm calling from a Pipeline 25, and if I call a PM3, it never grabs
a second channel, even if the bandwidth usage requires it. The same connection
works correctly when connecting to an Ascend 400T. I can connect with two
channels to the PM3 if I force it to always use 2 channels, so I don't think it's
a maximum channel limit. It seems like the Ascend never even attempts to aquire
the second channel when connected to the livingston.
